Overview

About

Embark on an aerial adventure over Drysdale River National Park, where the untamed wilderness beckons the intrepid. Soar above open woodlands, broad waters, and cascading waterfalls. While the park offers no campgrounds, the thrill of bushwalking through its remote landscapes is unparalleled, requiring a permit for those daring to explore its depths.

When to go

The optimal time to visit Drysdale River National Park is during the dry season, typically from June to September. Avoid planning your trip from January to May, as the park is closed for prescribed burning operations, ensuring the safety and preservation of this pristine environment.

  • Be Crocwise – crocodiles are common, so always exercise caution near waterways.

  • There are no facilities within the park; be completely self-sufficient.
